Anthropic enters the cybersecurity fight to protect power grids and open source
Anthropic just launched the Anthropic Cyber Mission, deploying Claude models and threat researchers to protect critical infrastructure alongside partners like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. The initiative also debuts OSS Scanner, a free tool offering periodic vulnerability scans and patch recommendations for open-source repositories with a targeted 90% true-positive rate. Why it matters: Attackers already use cutting-edge AI to find exploits, and Anthropic is trying to shift the advantage back to defenders before public infrastructure gets hit.
